While the 2020-21 world champions will undoubtedly be glad to have their All-Star swingman back in the fold, they haven’t shown any signs of missing Middleton. The Bucks have jumped out to a fantastic first quarter of the season, going 15-5, the second-best record in the NBA. That said, Middleton is a crucial part of Milwaukee’s starting lineup and arguably the most essential player for the team outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The former Texas A&M standout enters his 10th NBA season, coming off another very solid campaign. Middleton averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and a personal-best 2.5 three-pointers per game in 2021-22.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Bucks as -8.5-point favorites and -340 on the moneyline for tomorrow’s home tilt with the Lakers.
